What they said:
The Steam client is in need of an overhaul, as it's old and lacking in so many areas. Hopefully we will see something come of this, as I actually really like that design. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Maybe they'll get that improvement in where, when in multiplayer, you can filter your friends list to only show the people that own the game.

I hope they will get the Steam client to be capable of Hi-DPI. It really sucks the way it is now. Also the available "hi-dpi-themes" out there are far from good. Until then: Lutris it is!

More sorting options is what I'd really like to see. For example sorting by user reviews or by achievement completion percentage.
Oh, and being able to download the soundtrack and/or extras without downloading the whole game (esp. a Windows-only game) would be awesome.

So.. Is there a being on this planet who isn't using small mode? Hope it won't be removed. The client is bloatware enough already.

We often cover news after it has happened to wait and see if anything else comes of it.
Unhelpful "this is from x ago!" comments don't provide anything to the conversation, and only serve to annoy me and the other editors.

I guess you should learn to check your temper and being honest.You're not calm,which is obvious.By the way,i think you should tinker quote mess GoL has.This became a very "helpful" comment i guess.
Look,i love this site and people in it;even i had some argues.But as the head of this site,you should check your attitude.If i'm being silly,then don't fall to silly level,ok?If my comment was not helpful then don't mind,which you should do in first place if you really think this is unhelpful.
